Hey there fellow nerds, ready for a niche blog post about something that I think is important and seemingly no one else cares about? I got you covered:

"The Case for Standardised Time Range Variable Names"

The Case for Standardised Time Range Variable Names

Yeah yeah, everyone thinks that their way is the Best Way™, but I'm going to try to make the case for some very simple standards …

@danielquinn That was an interesting read, I'll keep it in mind.

Because you mentioned using actual ranges, do you have a convention or preference for naming them?

@anthony not really no, though now that I think about it, I think maybe `_span` would make for a good suffix. It's short and unambiguous.

@danielquinn Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. As a second language English speaker, it seems that span can also be used for ranges other than time : length comes to mind.

I've seen `_period` used as well.
